This is another in a series of "blogicles"
on how Mess Mapping™ and Resolution Scenario Mapping processes can be
used to
represent, analyze, evaluate Wicked Problems and then to choose actions
that ameliorate the Wicked Problem at hand.

A typical workshop usually lasting 2 and sometimes 3 days is comprised of several tasks and outputs:

1.Conventional
Wisdom Voting and Scenario: participants in teams categorize the Events
into “highly likely,” “highly unlikely”, and “uncertain. Facilitators use event voting to create a
Conventional Wisdom scenario that reflects the overall thinking of workshop
participants at the outset of the workshop.

2.Endstate
Defense: Each team analyzes and then defends their assigned Endstate in a
presentation to the whole group. The main purpose of the team presentation is
to present a narrative describing how the world evolved, including the key
actors, drivers, motives, and significant milestones along the way.

3.Endstate
Systems: Workshop participants develop a new model that synthesizes the
Endstates into a set of relationships indicating how the Endstates might evolve
and interact with one another.

4.Policies
and Specific Actions: Participants identify and prioritize key policy
initiatives and Events, including responsibilities for influence or
implementation.
